Dom Joly's Complainers - Rip Off London!

[FaidleyEthan]

this guy should visit York

[BlakeTahoe]

im american so i cant really relate to how much all those things cost since(time for me to sound very ignorant)i have no clue how much a quid is worth or pretty much everything else he said..besides pounds...but i still love dom jolly none the less(atleast hes not a douche like our famous prank artists...AKA bam margera,ashton kutcher)

[MangoldSketchComedy]

@BlakeTahoe quid is slang for pound, just likes bucks for dollars.

[madviolet]

I've watched several of these shows just to give it the benefit of the doubt and I have to say it is bollocks...the whole idea for the show, crap.

[Dirtydog102]

Is it that expensive across London or just certain areas?

[magnetictheory]

HAHAHA! Sorry, I'm an Aussie but lived in Chelsea for 2 yrs n found the prices in London a bit steep. It's as if they think everyone wants to be there so you have to pay big. Nobody wants to be there. It's miserable, cold and depressing. It's the dumbest tourist city on earth. I come from Sydney, with sun, surf and girls barely clothed. Why would I or anyone choose London? Sorry London, you just don't have the goods to warrant the charges. You're essentially an over-priced hooker

[andygoodyear]

Nobody wants to be there? Who says you get to speak for the whole of London?? I live in Australia now (because of work) and Sydney is not all that great you know. It's certainly not as much of a world class city as London - or wait? Maybe world film premieres and events happen in London?

[catatonicable]

@magnetictheory Why did you spend 2 years there then.

[motherfucca]

@magnetictheory I guess that's why everyone moved to North America, Africa, and Australia. Lucky us!

[CircleofShit]

@magnetictheory true man, I'm a pom now living in NZ and London has lots to do but its a fucking shit hole, and only black people with shit English work in the subways. Only proud wankers will say London is 'great' but its a total eyesore. Like I said, lots to do there but a shit hole. I'd rather be in Aussie than London anyday, so would most Brits with half a brain.

[greenripper420]

Totally Insane!!!!

[jakewalker16]

I can get a pint for £1.99 down the road and I'm in London

[flakelorenz02]

@jakewalker16

Up North people only drink special brew from Netto. Think yourself lucky.

[Lousypenguin]

Can't be worse than Dublin!! What a shit hole I live in........

[toxicozzy2k]

LOL!!Rip Off London, WHAT A BUNCH OF TOSSERS

[drummer55a]

Currently 56 United Kingdom Pounds is equal to about 92.62 United Stats Dollars....

lol O_o

[fivefoflow]

That's a new pair of pants and a shirt. A week and a half of groceries for a single person. That's almost two times more than I spend on a whole weekend of fun.

[sashalovesderek]

3:46 HAHAHAHA "LOOK AT THEM" LMAO

[voon100]

It is an over price, overrated city without much to do. I should know because I live here for over 20 years.

[andygoodyear]

If you cannot find anything in London to do you have no life.

[SimsCreedGuy]

In Gibraltar its nearly the same, £45 for call of duty 4 for pc? wtf id rather go to the US.

[oscaroscar11]

everyone from london can relate to the scenes at 3.45

[cm111542]

What flies past Big Ben in the background at 0:15?

[GanEdenAustralia]

seagull

[cesariojpn]

The Stig commuting to Dunsford Park.

[Josh81952]

UFO

[catatonicable]

@cm111542 Its a teradabtyl.(sp)

[gamer4life444]

i dont use pounds! i use dollers!

[16893Slasher16893]

and londoners who i like to call dickheads! XD

[Rjmorg]

Thats just like miami, I live in a 1 story 3 bedroom house... my grandma bought it in the 60s for 30 thousand, now its worth half a million, It's complete rubbish to live in this city.

[Homeski]

London bankrolls and subsidises the entirety of the rest of England, and Scotland. Without the revenues it produces, the rest of the country would certainly feel London's loss.

Plus - it costs a lot of money to live here? The average wage is far greater, so the majority of Londoners can well afford it.

Get it straight Jolly.

[ondrejs2]

Yeah, now imagine a non-londoner visiting London. A kilo of chicken breasts costs 4x more than I'm used to. Rip Off London? HELL YES!

[Homeski]

Rip-off definition: To cheat or deprive somebody or something by deceit. You know London has inflated prices because of its inflated economy, thus there is no deceit.

You can shop at supermarkets for "a kilo of chicken breast" - all major supermarkets have standardised prices across the country. I don't knw where you've been shopping.

& There are plenty of cheap cocktails in London, just as there are expensive ones. That's like saying Machester's a rip-off because you can buy a Ferrari there.

[mistofoles]

Dom is such a hypocrite! As well as a mansion in Gloucestershire,he has a luxury apartment in London!

[shellspacebabe]

Yeah but he an afford it!!!

[james9689]

Yes because investing in a good house for your family is the same as a £35,000 cocktail -_-

[mistofoles]

Don't quite get the analogy there,,

[james9689]

Well he does not exactly throw money around on senseless items, like drinks and such. He more or less invested his money in property, it's not like he hasnt dragged himself up from the unknown to where he is through hardwork.

[milnusthegnome]

lol ....."hotdog with salmonella, costs £20"

[BoAbkal]

i always go to london, but its nothing as good as other english cities. like in manchester you can take a tram and see the whole city, explore new places, etc. but in london you take some shitty, smelly, boring underground, all pitch black and nothing to meet the eye. plus its always congested. but i love england, and i love the other english cities :-)

english people are also fantastic...

[BrodyLuv2]

Yeah...maybe he should focus on something a bit more pressing...Like,I dunno'....The Trillons of pounds the Banks have ripped us all for.

Oh..Doms daddy is a banker...nevermind.

[earthacademy]

LOL

[sabbysheffield]

hes right funny :L

[dwmad94]

better than all the rest

[sharpnup]

Ha ha!! Brilliant! Love your work Dom.

Been here 6 years still manage to laugh about it! Funny man

[aarandir]

Definately before alcohol was banned on the tube, now we can't even pretend that were not in a smelly London tube carriage but a nice metro train in Hong Kong.

[milnusthegnome]

why does everyone like london? it's the most depraved city in england...well apart from birmingham etc. it's full of filthy homeless people constantly annoying you and it's a shithole that smells.

[KCVII]

I like London because it's so varied. You have the shit-holes and you have the incredible places.

Everything in the clip is true but at the same time only showing the retardly expensive bits - there are places where you can get a pint for £2.60 (The White Horse on Rupert Street used to be one - not sure now) , you just have to know where.

[theboscokid]

Twot !

[fatmanprime]

That train ride actually costs £25.75 per mile, and NOT £65.50 as he said.

To be £65.5 per mile, the trip would have to cost £10.13.

[muppetman666]

wrong it atualy cost £64.50 a mile

[fatmanprime]

There are about 1609 metres in a mile.

The trip is 250 metres.

The cost is 4 pounds.

Cost per mile:

£4*(1609/250)= £25.75

How did both you and Dom get the maths wrong?

[muppetman666]

I know what I did wrong

but I think Dom was exagerating to prove his point

[Gaide11]

Dom Joly - you are brilliant!!!! SImply the best.

[LONDONER01]

lmao! I love this geezer he is so funny!

[admXD]

"And Londoners, what I like to call dickheads!"

Lmao!!!

[seanyboi2]

£9.80 a fucking pint jeesh! i thought £2.10 was a rip off in some pubs! lol

[wheredoducksgo]

loads of my friends are all off to london for work. this has totally put me off it!

[KeVbUzZ]

dont be put off totally..yes everything is more expensive...but jobs in london pay WAY more thn other places in the country

[tommytoxen]

I prefer Yorkshire. Probably the only county where you can have 18 pints of bitter for £25!

Praise Tadcaster for Samuel Smith's.

[bert872]

haha robin hood

[Izekio]

Try on London Ontario, all the way in Canada, costs a lot looks like a pile of shit.

[bestiaccia]

True!!! :-(

[dundee123]

did a weekender in london with friends last month 3 days spendin as little as possible.....£600

[Gameface1]

the cost of a night out in newcastle is about the same as a pint in london!

[Anermay]

So true, He so True

[Gingerlord1st]

I went to London this bank holiday weekend. Stayed at a friends and spent as little as i possibly could. I managed to spend £240 and all i did was go to a two bars and a restaurant!

[andygoodyear]

@Gingerlord1st Then you are stupid. I'm from London and it is not that expensive. Were you eating at an upper class restaurant?

[Dupe16118]

@Gingerlord1st yeah and...

thats hardly alot. Dinner at a restaurant will cost around 20 quid, then a nite at a bar is at least 70 quid then breakfast, lunch, transport, souvenirs etc

[Gingerlord1st]

@Dupe16118 I know i was just being dramatic. Really tho, £20 for dinner? Do you eat at Nando's! Lol

LOndon isn't that bad really. I lived in Chester and i'd spent alot more on a night out there.

[uangrr]

Dom Joly's the man. I'm glad he's back on tv even if it's on Channel 5... :P
